Hyperuricemia is caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood due to excessive production or reduced disposal. Factors that contribute to increased uric acid production are the consumption of foods that contain lots of purine and uric acid, obesity, drug use, physical activity and certain diseases in the blood. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of low purine diet and physical activity on changes in uric acid levels in hyperuricemia in tourism areas. The research was conducted in Sanur Urban Village of Denpasar, with the sample is woman age 30-60 years old as much 38 people. The research is an experimental research with pretest-posttest control design. Subjects were divided into two groups, group 1 applied a low purine diet and physical activity and group 2 as a control only applied a low purine diet. A low purine diet is consumed daily for 6 weeks. Physical activity is yoga exercises performed for 60 minutes with a frequency of 3 times a week for 6 weeks. To know the change of blood uric acid level before and after intervention using Paired t-test. The mean uric acid levels before the intervention in the low purine diet intervention group and the physical activity of Gymnastics Yoga was 7.6 mg/dl and after the intervention decreased to 5.2 mg/dl. In the control group that only applied a low purine diet without Gymnastics Yoga before the intervention was 7.2 mg/dl and after intervention also decreased to 5.44 mg/dl. Levels of uric acid after low purine intervention and physical activity were lower than before treatment (p<0.05). The lower purine intervention and greater physical activity decreased uric acid levels compared with controls (p<0.05). For women with hyperuricemia to reduce uric acid levels by applying a low purine diet and yoga exercises three times a week, with a duration of about 60 minutes.
